I'll just say this, Muslim Americans that I have interacted with are some of the most kind, honest and social people I've ever met especially out of any religious group. Never once have I ever felt imposed on or judged for not identifying with them unlike with many Christians.

I am obviously not saying that there are no radical Islamists in the U.S. or worldwide, but that it's vastly over-demonized and weaponized. Nor am I referring to the online clout-chasing fake western converts that also spread disinformation about or false interpretations of Islam

@threadreaderapp unroll

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.

But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.

3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.

Congress gave ICE $45 billion last year in a single bill. Here's where that money is going and who is cashing in on the largest expansion of immigrant detention in American history. 🧵

In July 2025, Congress gave ICE a total of $45 billion for immigration detention more than a decade of normal funding in one lump sum. ICE's annual detention budget had previously been around $3.4 billion. That's a 13x increase. @immcouncil

@immcouncil ICE is now spending $38.3 billion of that to buy 8 "mega centers" (7,000–10,000 beds each), 16 processing centers (1,000–1,500 beds each), and 10 more facilities for a total planned capacity of 92,600 people. @axios

This will be a general timeline of Jared’s Kushner’s actions starting from the beginning of Trump’s first term. It is now evident he is a Mossad spy & this should put everything in an entirely new light, & hopefully help everyone understand the dire circumstances of our nation.

Trump appointed Jared and Ivanka as presidential advisors. Neither of them could pass basic security clearances, so Trump overrode the Intelligence Community and granted them access to highly classified material.

It’s well known that Trump did not and still does not read the Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) daily. It was reported during the first term that Jared read them consistently. This is highly sensitive information related to the most current world events and information.

1/9 🌍 Global Situation Update; Iran war D+10, Russo-Ukrainian War D+1,476: The international security architecture is facing unprecedented concurrent stress. As of March 10, 2026, the international system is simultaneously managing two high-intensity, theater-level conflicts that have fundamentally fractured the traditional concept of integrated deterrence. Here is a macro-strategic and tactical synthesis of Operations Epic Fury, Lion's Roar, and True Promise IV in the Middle Eastern theater of War and the Ukrainian TVD. #Irán #EpicFury #LionsRoar #TruePromise4 #UkraineWar #straightofhormuz

2a/9 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Persian Gulf Theater of Operations: Day 11 marks the kinetic zenith of Operations Epic Fury & Lion's Roar thus far. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine confirmed March 10 as the "most intense day of strikes inside Iran". Over 5,000 targets (IRGC HQs, IADS, drone hubs) have been dismantled to date.

2b/9 🇺🇸 The sheer scale and intensity of Operation Epic Fury have exposed critical vulnerabilities within the United States defense industrial base. The Pentagon reportedly expended an estimated $5.6 billion in precision munitions during the first 48 hours of the campaign alone.

This burn rate has triggered immediate congressional alarm regarding the rapid depletion of American weapon stockpiles, mirroring and severely exacerbating the magazine depth crisis previously observed during the arming of Ukraine. The operational efficacy of the Western security architecture is currently undergoing a structural stress test, forcing a rapid transition from a posture of sustainable power projection to a mathematically grueling war of industrial attrition.

Finished Part 1 of 'Everybody's Favorite Mutiny' as we sailed between Rangiroa and Huahine. All 6 intersecting stories of the Bounty saga are rife with intriguing psychodrama. In Part 2 we'll meet the real villain of the story: Capt. Edward Edwards of the ill-fated HMS Pandora.

As we analyze the story in search of the real Captain Bligh, one thing emerges amidst the psychological complexities: It was his permissiveness on land - allowing the men to live off the ship and 'go native' - which ultimately played a major role in the dramatic turn of events.

Thus the Hollywood caricature of Bligh as a tyrannical and sadistic martinet - based on fictionalized historical accounts which in turn were largely based on a smear campaign during the trials back in London - doesn't square with the facts.

HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN ICT TRADING MODEL 🧵

ICT teaches retail traders to think like institutions (“smart money”).

Instead of chasing indicators, ICT focuses on how banks and hedge funds manipulate price to grab liquidity, then move the market efficiently.

The real edge comes when you stop trying to be ICT and use his concepts and teachings as a blueprint to build your own personalized trading model.

Take ownership for your work and you will prosper!

Core ICT Concepts You Must Know

Market Structure: Higher highs/high lows = uptrend. Lower highs/low lows = downtrend. A Break of Structure (BOS) signals trend change.

Order Blocks (OB): Last opposing candle before a strong move — institutional order flow.

Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Imbalances left by fast price moves; price often returns to fill them.

Liquidity Grabs & Inducements: Fakeouts that sweep stops before reversing.

Premium vs. Discount of a specific range

Kill Zones + Macro times: High-probability times (London open, NY open).

Step 1: Define Your Rules

Pick 2–3 stocks/indices you'd want to lock in on for a specific day (for example: $SPY, $TSLA, $NQ)

Timeframes: Higher TF for bias (H4/D1), lower for entry (M5/M15)

Risk: Identify trades in advance to understand risk prior to entry.

Daily goal: Trade must meet HTF draw and setup on lower time frames

.....we act near cycle lows when silly prices are available

https://twitter.com/Ronitper/status/2031416745072939502

.....in #Cyclicality a silly price is < 0.25x CF 3-4 yrs out (using mid cycle spot assumptions) = > 10x, often 15-25x returns

.....in #cyclicality a 2x CF stock at peak spot (about to drop by 80%) isn't cheap, it's trading on 10-15x CF 2 yrs out. .....beware of those saying a #commodity stock is cheap post the spot trading at > 5x the industry cost curve, they don't know what they own.

This didn't make any sense nine years ago, but now it makes perfect sense!

The President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi; King Salman of Saudi Arabia; and Donald and Melania Trump are holding the glowing orb in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Why was Trump’s first official visit during his first term to the Middle East?

Are you ready for this rollercoaster thread? I mean, it's so weird, the times we live in! (1/12)🧵

During the opening of an anti-extremism center in Saudi Arabia in 2017, they held a glowing orb with the Earth's continents in black for more than two minutes.

They were discussing their survival plan! The wars, the doomsday cities, AI development and data center, everything! The Orb is symbolic!

But now let's explore more this rabbit hole (2/12)🧵

This specific painting, titled 'Glorification of the Eucharist,' is located in the Church of St. Peter in Perugia, Italy, and dates back to the 16th century.

The Eucharist represents the body and blood of Christ, consecrated during the liturgy to commemorate Jesus' Last Supper and his sacrifice for humanity. In this painting, we see two orbs: one in heaven, associated with the Holy Trinity—the Son (Jesus), the Father, and the Holy Spirit (depicted as a dove)—and one on earth, which is a glowing orb.

The glowing orb symbolizes the body of Christ, as it represents His transcendence and transformation into the Tibetan Rainbow Body, or a body made of pure energy, often referred to as the plasma body. This profound symbolism is why the painting is titled 'Glorification of the Eucharist.' (3/12)🧵

A hearing over Anthropic's lawsuit against the Pentagon is underway: The AI giant's lawyer Michael Mongan asks for a hearing as early as Friday.

“There really are irreparable injuries that are concrete and are mounting every day.”

Judge Lin appears skeptical about moving too quickly.

Trump's government has been "affirmatively reaching out to [Anthropic's] customers" and urging them not to work with the company, per Mongan.

DOJ Attorney James Harlow pushes for a March 18

A formerly enslaved woman, Mary Lumpkin, liberated a slave jail known as ‘The Devil’s Half Acre’ and turned it into an HBCU.

A THREAD

Mary was sold to a man named Robert Lumpkin at the age of around 13 and was forced to bear children for him & help him run a slave jail in Richmond, Virginia. It was known as Lumpkin’s jail.

Slave jails were sites of confinement & torture for enslaved men, women and children who tried to escape from slavery to free states or who were waiting to be sold.
